Ant queens. Everywhere - Solenopsis invicta - Female
Palm City, Martin County, Florida, USA
June 2, 2019
Hundreds of them everywhere. Some were being dragged off by other ants, some in a predatory manner, others seemed to be guided. Most were on their own, looking for nest sites.

I have them in a test tube setup, I'm glad I finally found them. Now I have to assemble my ant farm...
